ECO-CONSCIOUS PRODUCTS
Our products combine technological innovation with an environmentally sound vision. In a campaign to help preserve the environment, KUMHO Tires has made a pledge to develop environment-friendly products. HA (High Aromatic) Oil refers to the untreated “DAE (Distillate Aromatic Extract)”, which is vacuum-distilled crude oil. When used excessively, such as in the auto industry, HA Oil causes environmental pollution. KUMHO Tires has begun to produce HA Oil-free technology for tire models PTN 7401 and KW11.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE TIRE
KUMHO Tires believes that the next generation of tires should display excellence in performance, safety, and environmental awareness. Years of research and investments have led to the development of the ECOTRON tire for electric vehicles. Unlike ordinary tires, Silica, a new type of anti-impact material, and special Carbon Black are used. This cutting-edge combination results in a lower rolling resistance of up to 45% and a reduced combustion rate of almost 10%, which in turn reduces the amount of pollutant emissions into the air.
EL MARK CERTIFIED
KUMHO Tires continues to crusade for the environment by developing new products and implementing various recycling efforts. Two special environmentally sound products, the SOLUS and POWER RACER II tires are certified with EL Markings from the Environment Labelling Association in Korea. Eco-conscious endeavours include reducing the weight of tires, which is not only cost-efficient but key in lowering the total volume of used tires. Improving tire abrasion performance has also extended the tire’s life cycle. In overall production, use of hazardous primary and secondary materials has been substantially minimized.
TIRE SELECTION
ALL-SEASON VS. PERFORMANCE VS. TOURINGKUMHO offers a tire line to fit virtually every driver and vehicle requirement. When purchasing KUMHO tires, you should consider the following:
ALL-SEASON
- provide good all-around traction for wet, snowy and icy road conditions
- deliver superb treadwear & tire noise characteristics
PERFORMANCE
- enhance a vehicle’s handling capabilities on wet and dry roads
- feature larger tread elements to provide a stiff tread area for handling performance
TOURING
- bridge the gap between All-Season & Performance tires
- combine the technology for All-Season treadwear characteristics with Performance handling & grip
- exhibit very little tire noise and excellent ride comfort
TREADWEAR PERFORMANCE VS. GRIP/ HANDLING/ TRACTION PERFORMANCE
A tire will wear out quickly if it is providing maximum grip to the road. This is due to the tread rubber being torn from the tire (on a microscopic level) while it adheres to the road surface. An excellent treadwear tire minimizes the amount of rubber being removed at the road surface, thus providing long tread life, but less road gripping traction.
TIRE SPEED-RATING (“S”,”T”, “U”,”H”,”V”,”W”,”Y”,”Z”)
A higher speed rating means reduced ride comfort because a tire capable of running at high speeds requires stiffer construction in order to provide the necessary high speed stability & durability. A Z-Speed rated tire without a service description means that the customer must consult the tire manufacturer to obtain the tire’s maximum speed capability.
Tire Speed Rating Symbols
- S 180km/h or 112mph
- T 190km/h or 118mph
- U 200km/h or 125mph
- H 210km/h or 130mph
- V 240km/h or 149mph
- W(ZR) 270km/h or 168mph
- Y(ZR) 300km/h or 186mph
- ZR Above 300km/h or 186mph
